Authentic Reviews from real Cape Removal clients
Thanks to Sue and the team. My move went smoothly, nothing was damaged, and the crew were polite and well organised all day. Moving house is usually stressful — this wasn't. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

They wrapped, loaded, transported and unpacked all our furniture in just 45 minutes. If you want a reliable, professional mover, this is the team to call.

Our Supporting Long Distance Moving Services
Every long distance move begins with careful planning and packing. Your dedicated removal consultant guides you through each step, starting with a home inventory you can complete online. Once we know how much space you will need on the truck, we give you two clear options: our specialised shared-load service, or a dedicated truck allocated to your move alone.
Our National Shared-Load Furniture Removals are a firm favourite with our customers. The benefit is simple: you pay only for the space you use in the truck, and only one way. For a national move we offer three packing options — full-service packing, self-pack, or a packing-supplies drop-off.
Choose self-pack and our team will supply everything you need, from moving boxes and bubble wrap to buff tape and cling wrap, so every item is safe in transit. We also disassemble and reassemble furniture and appliances, and offer short- and long-term storage for those in-between moments when dates do not line up. It is all part of turning a big move into an easy day.

Long Distance Moving Services — Frequently Asked Questions
What are long distance moving services?
Long distance moving services cover any move between South African cities or provinces — for example Johannesburg to Cape Town, or Durban to the Garden Route. Cape Removals runs weekly trucks on all the major routes and handles the packing, wrapping, loading, transport and offloading from your old door to your new one.
Whether you are moving a full family home or just a few items, your dedicated consultant plans the whole journey with you. Explore our long distance removals routes to see where we travel each week.
How much do long distance moving companies in South Africa charge?
The cost of a long distance move depends on how much you are moving (the space you take up on the truck), the distance between the two cities, and whether you choose a shared load or a dedicated truck. Because you pay only for the space you use on a shared load, it is often the most budget-friendly way to move long distance.
For an accurate figure, your consultant works from a quick online inventory — there is no charge and no obligation. Start with a free moving quote and we will talk you through your options.
What is a shared-load (part-load) removal?
A shared-load removal means your furniture travels on a truck that is already heading to your destination, sharing the space with other clients’ goods. You pay only for the space your items take up, and only one way, which keeps costs well down without rushing your move.
It is ideal for smaller homes, flats and part-moves. Read more about how it works on our shared load removals page.
Which cities and routes do you cover?
We move to and from every major South African city — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Nelspruit, East London, the Garden Route and Cape Town — plus the smaller towns in between. Our busiest corridors run every week.
Popular routes include Johannesburg to Cape Town and Pretoria to Cape Town. If you do not see your town, just ask your consultant — chances are we are already passing through.
How long does a long distance move take?
Transit time depends on the route. As a door-to-door guide, moves between Johannesburg and Cape Town usually take around 3 to 9 days, Durban to Cape Town about 5 to 12 days, Nelspruit 7 to 12 days, and Port Elizabeth to Cape Town roughly 3 to 9 days.
These windows allow for shared-load scheduling and safe handling at both ends. Your consultant confirms your exact collection and delivery dates once your move is booked.
Is my furniture insured during a long distance move?
Every Cape Removals long distance move includes R250,000 of goods-in-transit cover at no extra cost, so your belongings are protected on the road. For higher-value households, additional all-risk insurance is available.
You can read what is covered on our moving insurance page, or ask your consultant to tailor cover to your home.
Do you provide packing and materials?
Yes. We offer full-service packing, or we can drop off quality materials if you would prefer to pack yourself — moving boxes, bubble wrap, tape and cling wrap to keep everything safe in transit.
We also disassemble and reassemble furniture and appliances. See our packaging materials page for the full range.
Can you store my furniture if my dates do not line up?
We can. If there is a gap between moving out and moving in, our short- and long-term storage keeps your furniture safe and secure until you are ready.
It is a popular option during property transfers, renovations or travel. Learn more on our storage page.
How do I get a long distance moving quote?
Getting a quote is quick and free. Complete a short online inventory of what you are moving, and your dedicated consultant will send through your options — shared load or dedicated truck — with no obligation.
Start your free quote online, or contact us and we will help you through it.
